Abstract
Coherence transfer between atomic levels requires the matching of the Larmor frequencies. For levels with different factors this occurs only in zero magnetic field. By changing the factors through coupling with a nonresonant rf field, one can match the Larmor frequencies and make the transfer possible in nonzero magnetic fields. Resonances in the transfer appear, depending on the rf field amplitude. - spin-exchange experiments are reported which provide an illustration of the theory.
